Our Dogs Our DogsLong before they earn their wings, our dogs must pass a series of aptitude tests and exhibit a very specific set of characteristics. They must be calm, eager to please, affectionate, healthy, happy, intelligent and so much more. Only the best-of-the-best go on to don our highly respected service jacket. But they aren't all business: Once their service jackets come off, its play time. They are tail-wagging, playful companions and beloved best friends that bring joy to the hearts of everyone whose lives they touch.
